We are having a family de-clutter fest this Labor Day weekend! My DH actually suggested it. Instead of saying, "We have to clean the house this weekend," which makes me cringe and gives me a stomach ache, we are de-cluttering. I'm actually excited and happy about it! We are going to follow flylady's instructions using the timer, making sure to take fun breaks. Wish me well! Nan

I've been trying to use Flylady techniques on my cluttered garage. It seems so overwhelming... but then if I tell myself that I just need to find 10 things to get rid of and take care of them (and only them), I can do that! I figure if I just take care of 10 items a week, by late fall it will be uncluttered enough for a good cleaning.

Awesome NanRos! Awesome Inparent! Yippee!
I'm sure that after the garbage is tossed that both of you will have much more joy in actually cleaning the house, and see longer lasting results.
Do I love it?
Do I need it?
Does it make me smile?
Goes on my inspiration page!
Nan - did DH actually say the words: "De-clutter fest?"
Love and More Love,
Grinity

OK -
Here's my Inspirational Page:
My house is talking to me every minute � what is it saying?
Do I love it?
Do I need it?
Does it make me smile?
You can do anything for 15 minutes. We KNOW this is true.
Housework done incorrectly still blesses your family
You can�t organize clutter; you can only get rid of it.
Nothing says Ilove you like school and office supplies where they can be easily found.

today is Day 12 My moto now is: I can do anything for 31 days! it's time to delete all the flylady emails that haven't been saved to your special 'favorites' folder. Here's Fly: You have your basic routine started and these are what you do for now. Do not try to do too much too fast; you will just crash and burn. Continue to take BabySteps to build your Control Journals. Do not allow your perfectionism to take over. We are building our routines and our Control Journals one habit at a time. Have a great day, Grinity

How can you be that cheerful and supportive at 4 am! I hope being positive before dawn is not a requirement!
I have successfully sorted all my paper in the evil drawer into their apprpropriate folders. I still have to shred the stuff and go through the folders but I feel I have accomplished something!

yippee DeHe believe me, there is something wrong with my computer - I am not posting at 4am! 6am no problem, but I love sleep. I hope you feel a bit of a thrill DeHe to face the evil drawer. Babysteps are the way. Tomorrow, Tuesday's babystep is to make your bed. This was my first babystep when I started - it was the habit of the month. I love making my bed and I never tuck in the sheets, just tug and it looks so nice! http://www.flylady.net/pages/bbd15.asplove and More love, Grinity
